Let Angels chant thy praise, pure spouse of purest Bride, While Christendom’s sweet choirs the gladsome strains repeat, To tell thy wondrous fame, to raise the pealing hymn, Wherewith we all they glory greet.

Almo cum túmidam gérmine cóniugem admírans, dúbio tángeris ánxius, afflátu súperi Fláminis ángelus concéptum púerum docet.

When doubts and bitter fears thy heavy heart oppressed, And filled thy righteous soul with sorrow and dismay, An Angel quickly came, the wondrous secret told, And drove thy anxious griefs away.

Tu natum Dóminum stringis, ad éxteras Ægýpti prófugum tu séqueris plagas; amíssum Sólymis quæris et ínvenis, miscens gáudia flétibus.

Thy arms thy new-born Lord, with tender joy embrace; Him then to Egypt’s Land thy watchful care doth bring; Him in the Temple’s courts once lost thou dost regain, And ‘mid thy tears dost greet thy King.

Eléctos réliquos mors pia cónsecrat palmámque eméritos glória súscipit; tu vivens, súperis par, frúeris Deo, mira sorte beátior.

Not till death’s pangs are o’er do others gain their crown, But, Joseph, unto thee the blessed lot was given While life did yet endure, thy God to see and know, As do the Saints above in heaven.

Nobis, summa Trias, parce precántibus; da Ioseph méritis sídera scándere, ut tandem líceat nos tibi pérpetim gratum prómere cánticum. Amen.

Grant us, great Trinity, for Joseph’s holy sake, In highest bliss and love, above the stars to reign, That we in joy with him may praise our loving God, And sing our glad eternal strain.

Laudabile nomen Domini

Praise the name of the Lord

Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles (Lc 1, 52).

Quis sicut Dóminus Deus noster, qui in altis hábitat * et se inclínat, ut respíciat in cælum et in terram?

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

Súscitans de terra ínopem, * de stércore érigens páuperem,

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

ut cóllocet eum cum princípibus, * cum princípibus pópuli sui.

Qui habitáre facit stérilem in domo, * matrem filiórum lætántem.

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

Happiness for those who hope in the Lord.

Laudamus Dominum in vita nostra, id est in moribus nostris (Arnobius).

Let us praise the Lord during our lifetime, that is, by our actions. (Arnobius).

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be.

Put not your trust in princes: in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

Exíbit spíritus eius et revertétur in terram suam; *in illa die períbunt cogitatiónes eórum.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

qui custódit veritátem in sǽculum, † facit iudícium oppréssis, * dat escam esuriéntibus.

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry.

Dóminus solvit compedítos, *Dóminus illúminat cæcos,

The Lord looseth them that are fettered: the Lord enlighteneth the blind.

Dóminus érigit depréssos, *Dóminus díligit iustos,

The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

Dóminus custódit ádvenas,† pupíllum et víduam susténtat *et viam peccatórum dispérdit.

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

Regnábit Dóminus in sǽcula, *Deus tuus, Sion, in generatiónem et generatiónem.

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.

De Deo salvatore

To the saving God

Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, * qui benedíxit nos in omni benedictióne spiritáli in cæléstibus in Christo,

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all kinds of spiritual blessings in heaven,

sicut elégit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutiónem, † ut essémus sancti et immaculáti * in conspéctu eius in caritáte,

it is in Him that He chose us even before the creation of the world, so that we might be holy and immaculate before Him in charity,

qui prædestinávit nos in adoptiónem filiórum † per Iesum Christum in ipsum, * secúndum beneplácitum voluntátis suæ,

having in His love predestined to be His adopted sons through Jesus Christ, according to His free will,

in laudem glóriæ grátiæ suæ, * in qua gratificávit nos in Dilécto,

in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem eius, * remissiónem peccatórum,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins,

secúndum divítias grátiæ eius, † qua superabundávit in nobis * in omni sapiéntia et prudéntia,

according unto the riches of His grace, which God has poured out abundantly upon us in all wisdom and understanding,

notum fáciens nobis mystérium voluntátis suæ, * secúndum beneplácitum eius,

by making known unto us the mystery of His will, according unto the free purpose which His goodness had set for Himself,

quod propósuit in eo, * in dispensatiónem plenitúdinis témporum:

to realize it when the fullness of time would be accomplished:

recapituláre ómnia in Christo, * quæ in cælis et quæ in terra.

namely, to gather together all things in Christ Jesus, those which are in heaven and those which are on earth.

Lectio brevis (Col 3, 23-24)

Quodcúmque fácitis, ex ánimo operámini sicut Dómino et non homínibus, sciéntes quod a Dómino accipiétis retributiónem hereditátis. Dómino Christo servíte.

Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men: Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.
